Entered  at  the  Postoffice,  Notre  Dame,  Indiana,  as  second  class 


Chemical  and  Mining  Engineering 


A course  in  Mining  Engineering  was  begun  at  the 
University  Sept.,  1908,  and  in  Sept.,  1909,  Chemical  En- 
gineering will  be  open  to  students  wishing  to  take  up  the 
work  peculiar  to  this  course. 

The  demand  for  such  training  as  will  afford  a chemist 
a fair  understanding  of  the  subjects  essential  to  Mechani- 
cal and  Electrical  Engineeringmakes  a course  in  Chemical 
Engineering  desirable.  For  this  course  there  will  be 
required  a greater  number  of  hours  per  week  than  for 
other  Engineering  courses  with  the  exception  of  Mining 
Engineering,  but  the  ground  covered  and  the  information 
imparted  will  be  worth  the  extra  effort. 

Mining  Engineering  will  make  even  greater  demands 
on  the  student  as  far  as  hours  of  work  are  concerned. 
It  is  not  possible  to  equip  the  mining  engineer  satis- 
factorily for  his  work  without  familiarizing  him  with  the 
work  set  down  in  the  program  of  studies,  (E.  M. 
Program)  that  follows. 

The  four  year  course  in  Chemical  Engineering  leads  to 
the  degree  of  Chemical  Engineer,  (Ch.  E.)  The  four 
year  course  in  Mining  Engineering  leads  to  the  degree  of 
Engineer  of  Mines,  (E.  M.)  The  requirements  for  ad- 
mission to  the  courses  of  either  Chemical  or  Mining 
Engineering  are  the  same  as  those  required  for  entrance 
to  any  course  of  Engineering.

SUMMER  WORK* 

Students  taking  the  course  of  Mining  Engineering  are 
required  to  take  a six  weeks  trip  into  mining  regions, 
previously  selected,  during  the  summer  preceding  the 
senior  year.  The  object  of  this  trip  is  to  familiarize  the 
student  with  actual  mining  operations.  Underground 
workings,  hoisting  plants,  shaft  houses,  mills  and 
smelters  are  thoroughly  inspected.  Practical  work  in 
mine  surveying  is  given  in  order  that  the  student  may 
become  familiar  with  the  use  of  the  transit  underground.

THE  OBSERVATORY 

This  building  is  located  near  the  Chemical  Labora- 
tories and  is  designed  for  an  equatorial  telescope  and 
for  a transit  or  meridian  circle.  The  equatorial  telescope 
now  in  the  building  is  intended  for  students  of  astronomy, 
and  is  in  use  whenever  favorable  weather  permits. 

THE  GYMNASIUM 

The  Gymnasium  which  was  burned  down  in  Novem- 
ber, 1900,  was  replaced  by  a bnilding  230  by  200  feet  in 
dimensions.  The  track-hall  is  now  100  by  180  feet  on 
the  ground ; it  is  used  for  indoor  meets,  winter  baseball 
practice,  basketball  and  military  drill.  The  gymnastic 
hall  is  100  by  40  feet  and  is  furnished  with  a full  set  of 
apparatus ; below  that  are  the  offices,  dressing-rooms 
and  shower-baths.  Friends  of  the  University  and  the 
alumni  contributed  more  than  three  thousand  dollars  to 
the  fund  for  rebuilding. 

Cartier  Field  is  an  enclosed  field  for  athletic  games. 
There  is  a permanent  grand  stand  near  the  baseball 
diamond  and  the  running  track,  and  a portable  stand 
near  the  football  rectangle.  The  field  contains  ten  acres 
of  ground,  and  is  a gift  to  the  University  from  Mr. 
Warren  A.  Cartier,  C.  E.,  of  the  class  of  ’87.

SYSTEM  OF  INSTRUCTION 

The  entire  plan  of  studies  is  based  on  the  modified 
elective  system.  The  student  is  free  to  select  his  own 
curriculum  conformably  to  his  natural  liking,  the  career 
in  life  he  may  have  in  view,  or  the  determinate  intel- 
lectual bent  developed  during  his  secondary  school  years  ; 
but,  though  he  is  free  to  elect  his  own  studies,  he  has  not, 
however,  unlimited  freedom  in  this  respect.  The  prin- 
ciple of  general  election  is  modified.  Lest  the  young 
Freshman  in  his  inexperience  choose  unwisely,  he  is 
aided  in  making  his  choice  of  studies  by  being  permitted 
to  select  from  among  a number  of  parallel  programs 
Leading  to  baccalaureate  degrees.  Sixteen  programs  are 
open  for  his  choice  in  the  Colleges,  each  embracing 
courses  which,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Faculty,  contribute 
best  to  cultural,  scientific  or  professional  knowledge. 
These  programs  are,  in  some  cases,  made  elastic  by  the 
introduction  of  elective  courses,  especially  in  the  Junior 
and  Senior  years.  Students  who  wish  to  spend  a limited 
time  in  study  and  cannot  complete  all  the  courses  in  a 
program  for  a degree  may  register  as  special  students 
and  elect  any  courses  for  which  their  preparation  has 
fitted  them. 

The  hours  scheduled  in  the  different  programs  are 
credit  hours  based  on  the  average  amount  of  time 
required  for  attendance  at  recitations  and  the  time 
necessary  for  preparation  of  recitations.  One  hour  of 
recitation  is  regarded  as  the  equivalent  of  two  hours  of 
laboratory  work.  The  minimum  number  of  credit  hours 
which  a student  must  carry  is  sixteen,  the  maximum 
number  which  he  may  ordinarily  carry  is  twenty. 
Students  who  wish  to  take  more  work  than  is  indicated 
by  the  maximum  requirements  must  apply  by  formal 
petition  to  the  Faculty  for  the  requisite  permission.
